At once cool and restrained, yet ripe and aromatic. Plenty of yellow apple and mirabelle, but also ripe pear and delicate fresh herb aromas. Super bright and precise, this has a seriously racy personality and tons of extract at the very crisp and focused red apple finish. Drink or hold. - JS

The 2021 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett shows stunning reduction on the clear, intense and well-concentrated, super precise and also complex nose that reveals discreet herbal aromas. What a beauty! Lush and light on the palate, this is a pristine, textured and incredibly fine Himmelreich with a long, saline and perfectly round finish. This is a beautiful, classic Kabinett that deserves the highest praise. Picked below 80° Oechsle, this 2021 Himmelreich proves that sensory ripeness doesn’t need a refractometer to show complexity and style. 7.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022. - WA
